I've been a game show winner, a produced screenwriter, international traveler and now self-published author and radio talk show host. After losing my mom at the age of 15, I learned that tomorrow isn't guaranteed and if I wanted to live, I couldn't wait until I graduated, or until I found the perfect job or the perfect man (still looking for both of those), or until I reached retirement age. If I wanted to live, I had to do it now ... right now.

So I have taken advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves to me and when there were no opportunities, I've made them. As a result, I've lived a life with very few regrets.

I started Get It Together Girl! to help women of all ages realize that you can live life on your terms and you can attain your definition of happiness and success; you just have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take a chance.

My concept is a simple one: start where you are, use what you have and you can get what you want.

- The IRS claims $1 billion have been left unclaimed by taxpayers who didn’t file a 2011 tax return?

- If you don’t have health insurance you could owe a tax penalty up to 1 percent of household income?

- The IRS recently sent out corrected Form 1095-A’s. Does this affect you?

This tax season may be a challenging time for many families. The single largest change in the tax code in decades, threats of fraud and a fast-approaching April 15 deadline. And uninsured folks filing their taxes this year could experience the biggest wakeup call as the Affordable Care Act starts to affect their returns.

Help is on the way. H&R Block tax expert Kathy Pickering has advice for last-minute filers.

· The penalty for not having health care insurance and how to qualify for an exemption

· Tax mistakes that can cost you big money

· What to do if you can’t meet the April 15 deadline

Kathy Pickering is the executive director of The Tax Institute at H&R Block, the go-to source for objective insights on federal and state tax laws affecting the individual. With more than a decade of experience in tax operations and 25 years in information technology, Pickering is responsible for the strategic direction and management for a team of the nation’s top experts on tax issues.

This show is sponsored by Tandem Labs and their Gravity geo-local marketing software program designed for decentralized companies like H&R Block.

"Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position." ~ Brian Tracy

There is a change of the guard going on at the top. More and more women than ever before are guiding corporations, holding political office, and starting and driving movements. But along with title and position comes considerable responsibility. Sometimes that responsibility is made difficult for the woman in charge more by what she doesn't know than what she does know.

You've probably heard of several so-called "secrets" to success touted by every expert imaginable. The problem is that those secrets sometimes seem to work for only a privileged few. It's time to spread the wealth! If you're a woman who is leading IN ANY CAPACITY and you're ready to break into your full potential as a leader, you need to tune in today.

Get the details about what you can do right now to become the leader you've always known you could be. Join our chat with guest, Colonel (Ret.) Jill Morgenthaler, author of the captivating new book, The Courage to Take Command: Leadership Lessons from a Military Trailblazer.
